Receiving the scholarship while I was an undergraduate was instrumental in my making the decision to go to law school. The school year after I first received the scholarship, I transferred from the state school I was attending to a private university and from there pursued my legal education. I am delighted to now be a part of the Scholarship that encourages others to follow their dreams as it encouraged me.
